A Twitter API call without authentication?! I call BS

My guess would be that like-tweet.js is a trash file left over in the repo from someone's testing.

Still this post does illustrate the alarming nature of software dependency hell and how who-knows-what sort of code might easily be slipped into repositories these days.

Or, you know, it's not actually there at all because this is absurdist satire and not meant to be taken literally.
I can't tell satire anymore. It's hard to come up with any more absurd than the real world.
